Cancer Wellness Program

Coping with the side effects and after effects of cancer treatment can challenge a patient’s sense of control over his or her own body. FirstHealth’s Cancer Wellness Program helps individuals living with cancer learn how to improve their quality of life in mind, body and spirit through exercise and education.

The seven-week Cancer Wellness Program is conducted at the FirstHealth Center for Health & Fitness–Southern Pines and consists of three 90-minute sessions per week that address quality of life through exercise and education to:

Ease the transition between treatment and a quality daily life

Enhance the lives of participants through exercise, education and group support

Educate participants on how to successfully commit to healthy lifestyle changes

Introduce participants to the many tools available through FirstHealth and other community programs that may assist them in remaining well as they continue in their fight against cancer
